ST72324 QUICK REFERENCE NOTE

3.1 CODE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

3.1.1 ST7 Assembler and Linker

The ST7 assembler, based on a meta-assembler technology, has full-featured macros and

powerful conditional assembly directives. Relocatable object files generated by the assembler

are then combined by the linker into a single executable file.

This is available on the STMicroelectronics Microcontroller Development Tools CD-ROM or

can be downloaded from http://www.st.com/mcu>ST MCU Support>Downloads>H/W and S/

W Tools.

3.1.2 C Compiler toolchains from Cosmic and Metrowerks
